Online PIck of the Week (1/29) - Blockbusters (Cullen)

For this week, it's an episode uploaded by David Downs. An episode of my personal favorite Blockbusters with Bill Cullen. This episode is a Game Show Network airing from 2003. I really like this show, and this is a good episode Enjoy.

Blockbusters (Cullen) my online pick of the week.

He Was So Young

On Thursday January 26th, Robert Hegyes, of Welcome Back Kotter Fame passed away at the age of 60 after a heart attack.

I never really watched Welcome Back Kotter so I can't have a say on how he did, but I'm pretty sure he did good. He played Juan Epstein.

However, I knew him best on game shows. I saw a couple of his Match Game 76 episodes, and the last episode of Match Game PM GSN aired was his appearance. Unfortunately at the moment those episodes are not on YouTube, and I don't see GSN airing a tribute. However last month, an episode of him on The $25,000 Pyramid was uploaded. He also did the 70's versions as well.

R.I.P. Robert, we'll miss you.

Online Pick of the Week (1/22) - As High As You Can Go, Generation 80

Oh I've been busy. Anyway, I was looking on Youtube Thursday night and found an interesting video. As High As You Can Go By The Chameleons. The video is them performing on the 80's Belgian TV show Generation 80. Mark's voice sounds different, but good, and the lyrics are a bit different. Gee I love this song so much. So enjoy

As High as You Can Go My Online Pick of the Week

Even More Changes

Well, with Dancing With the Stars premiering tonight, there are more changes to the schedule, beginning this next week, in addition to the changes announced last month.

Match Game loses its 11:00am slot. Eubanks Card Sharks will rejoin the daytime lineup and take over that spot. That will begin at episode #1 from January 1986. Match Game 74 will remain at 11:30, and will still air in the 8:00am hour. Seems odd having Perry at 10:00am, Pyramid at 10:30am, then Eubanks at 11:00am. Seems weird but oh well. Would much rather see Match Game for the 468th time, but at least this will shut up the people on the message boards who complain about rerun abuse. Yeah, I'm sure you'll be happier to see the shows gone.

And another changes happens. Syndicated Deal or No Deal bites the dust. Repalcing it? The Bill Engvall version of Lingo. And same with Card Sharks, Engvall at 2:30pm, Whammy! at 3:00pm, and Woolery at 3:30pm. Seems weird, but it might work. That's just Monday-Thursday. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader will still get the Friday afternoon slot. This is a good change. I really hate the Syndie version of the show, only 2 models (and there were hotter ones IMHO), half the prize (yes it was Syndication) and just felt too rushed. I don't like it slow, but if you go too fast, it ruins it. And the gimmicks on the NBC version didn't bother me, in fact, I liked them. I love the NBC version, but the Syndie wasn't that great. It even had suckish ratings. Engvall should do much better.

Online Pick of the Week (1/15) - Threw It On the Ground

Wow, so much snow on the ground, might as well pick this. The SNL short On The Ground. This is actually funny. A guy is rapping about throwing stuff on the ground. He is later tased by two "phonies" Love this very much, very funny.

Threw It On The Ground My Online Pick of the Week, which I will throw to the ground

Online Pick of the Week (1/8) - Happy Days

As much as I didn't like the final season of Happy Days, actually it beat the previous season. But it wasn't as good as the other seasons. But anyway, my pick for this week is an episode called The People vs. The Fonz apparently something happens at school, and Fonzie is accused, and could lose his teaching job. What happens, how does he handling, what's the end result. If you've seen it, you will know, if not, well, then view it.

So enjoy.

Happy Days The People vs. The Fonz, My Online Pick of the week.
